PROJECT
The Hans Foundation has been operating MMUs on self-Implementation mode since October 2021. MMU intervention is an innovative model of healthcare delivery that could help alleviate health disparities in vulnerable populations and individuals with chronic diseases. Indeed, some studies have concluded that MMUs are particularly impactful in the following contexts: offering urgent care, providing preventative and primary health care and initiating chronic disease management. By opening their doors directly into communities and leveraging existing community assets, MMUs can offer tailored, high-impact and affordable health care that responds dynamically to the community's evolving needs. Goal of this project is "People in remote areas are able to access quality health services, thereby improving their overall wellbeing".
